The movie goes out of its way to be offensive, even by today's standards. The interesting thing is that it does it in an otherwise charming romantic comedy that's actually funny.

Consensus: A shortage of laughs and an undercurrent of mean-spiritedness undermine Good Luck Chuck, squandering a decent premise on gross-out humor and shopworn slapstick.

Reviews for Good Luck Chuck
Top CriticThe ultimate low point comes during the closing credits, when Dane Cook's Charlie performs bestial acts with a stuffed toy penguin. As if grapefruit used in the same way as American Pie's apple pie isn't bad enough.

Top Critic... a bit like being at an entertaining party ruined by a some obnoxious loud-mouths shouting obscenities.

Whether or not you appreciate Dane Cook's spastic, hyperactive brand of observational humor, he cannot be held solely responsible for the unmitigated disaster that is 'Good Luck Chuck.'
04/09/08
...comes off as the latest misfire from erstwhile comedian Dane Cook...

Apparently someone out there thought it would be a good idea to capitalize on American's love for penguins AND gross-out comedies.
03/03/08
A transparent excuse for a constant parade of topless females eager to assume a compromising position. The only thing missing was a cheesy porn soundtrack.
01/18/08
A cesspool of irrational plot points and flaccid punch lines.

What isn't forgivable, though, is being boring, and Good Luck Chuck has all the engaging magnetism of an unflushed toilet.
01/15/08
To paraphrase one of Chuck's girlfriends, this is a film that finds no shame in licking the sand off the balls of comedy.
01/15/08
Crude, vulgar and dispiriting to watch.
11/09/07
Shoddily written.

Cross the street to avoid this one.

Top CriticTerminally unfunny

If it wasn’t for the presence of leading lady Jessica Alba, Good Luck Chuck would be lucky to get even a DVD release.

Good Luck Chuck has its moments - though the half-decent comedy moments are outweighed by the gags that fizzle and the cruddy loutish moments.
11/09/07
An unpleasant sex romp of the kind Robin Askwith made in the 1970s.
11/09/07
As dire a cum-com as ever shot its load on a cinema screen.
11/09/07
The script is so reliant on wish-fulfillment it forgets to add those important little touches: you know, wit, sincerity, characterisation, that kind of thing… A very cheap shot – and hardly anyone calls him ‘Chuck’.
11/09/07
If Wedding Crashers is in your top ten rom-coms ever, you might not hate this. Otherwise, it’s too gross to be sweet and too sweet to be gross.

January 28, 2008:
Because the jokes fall flat, the dialogue is dumb and the Swiss cheese script reads like an afterthought, the only logical conclusion is that all of the above is just a transparent excuse for a constant parade of topless females.
